Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)

Ms Maria Graham:

-----from that element but we must ensure the planning system and these other pieces that are happening align. That, I suppose, when I touch on future-proofing, is always going to be an issue because there may be some MPAs that come in, similarly to SACs, and that evolves. The processes we set out in the Bill must be robust enough to allow for that changing landscape with the underlying environment. They would be taken into account, it is my understanding, at the environmental assessment stage. Mr. Ryan does a lot of marine assessments. He may wish to add something.
